A Freshman Takes Pofsons Turns on
 Three Gas Jets and Lies Down te
 Die.
 BOSTON, Dec 11.-Henry J. Powell, nine teen years old and member of the freshman class at Harvard, committed suicide last night at his room, No. 5 Holworthy. The circumstances connected with his self de- struction show that the act was premeditated. He first swallowed dose of poison and then to make doubly sure of his work turned on the three gas jets in his room and laid down upon the bed to await his death. He was first discovered by fellow student who came to call upon him about 11:30 p. ID. Medical Examiner Durrell, of Somerville, was called and made an examination. He found that death had resulted from gas asphyxia before the poison had had time to operate. Mrs. Powell, the mother of the dead young man, WAS summoned as soon as possible from her stopping place in Boston and arrived about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. The family live in New York, but it seems Mrs. Powell had within few days come east to interview her son on some business matter. She had met her son Saturday afternoon and had 8 talk with him and when he parted he said he would call again in the evening. Powell en- tered college las. year. He is spoken of as being bright, interesting young man, but noticeably depressed of late. His body was embalmed, after which it was sent to New York

an Independent Church.
 NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 1.-Rey. Hugh O. Pentecost this morning resigned the pasto- rate of the Bellville avenue Congregational church, to take effect January 1st. In the course of the address announcing his resigna- tion he said he surrendered his charge to prevent dissentions in the church. Although the receut church meet ing called to consider his case had nority against him. There would have been no trouble he said if he had not advocated the views of Henry George, taken part in the anti poverty meetings at New York and en- tered politics at the charter election. The last straw had been his expressions of sympathy for the slaughtered Chicago An archists. He had nothing to regret in his course which had been source of spirit ual joy to him. His politics were religion and his sense of the false position of the church to Christ was deepened. The opposi- tion to him had been that of prejudice. The newspaper reports that he was in afhuence because he had rich wife were, he said, foolish. In conclusion MT. Penticost said he had reached 8 eliminating point which made it impossible for him to remain connected with orthodox Christianity or possibly with organized Christianity of any kind.
 The address was greeted with applause and laughter at different times. MT. Pentecost's plans for the future are not fully drawn, but an independent church may be started in New York where he will preach Sunday mornings and another in Newark where he will speak Sunday evenings.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-George Gorham Bond, twenty. four years old and a member of well known and wealthy Boston family, committed suicide at the Gilsey House at 3 o'clock this morning. He arrived at the ho- tel at o'clock last evening and registered, being apparently in the best of health and spirits. He was assigned room, to which he retired an hour or 80 later, and nothing further was heard from him until MT.

On the door being opened Bond was found shot through the head with revolver on the bed. He was taken to the New York hospital, where he died shortly afterward. A letter left by the suicide for his uncle, A. 0. Huide- Roper of Meadville, Ct., was substantially as follows:
 My dear uncle-May God forgive me for this rash act. have no one to blame but my own unfortunate self. hope all will forgive me for bringing this disgrace upon myself My love to grandmother and all.

New Years Calls.
A lady writes as follows:


 Dear CoUR1ER-As the State House question is decided and the New Year approaches, we wish to agitate the subject of call making, and we can think of no better way than through your valuable journal, trusting you will do what you can to assist us. We many times last year heard the remark that we did not wish to receive, so the gentlemen were obliged to make the club rooms the principal attractien-only selfshness, we think.
 We hope this year the pleasant practice of calling will be general, for it is decidedly pleasant to meet our gentlemen friends once a year and have pleasant chat.
 Please speak good word for making call ing general, so that the club may not be the only attraction.
 We have no doubt that the club is very enjoyable, but they should not monopolize every moment of spare time of our gentlemen friends.
